Implementation Notes

Staza keeps listenening for messages in the backgound and when a message is received it compares the message with the saved code. If the message matches the saved code it forces the user to enable gps. After gps has been enabled, Staza retrives the current location and replies to the sender with the location of the phone.

The app is not dependent on data usage and works on sms service.
